I'll give you another quick example. Over the past few years I have done some consulting work. People paying $1500/3000/5000+ to have me help them.

We work on developing a business plan, what they are looking to do, goals, objective, what is going to be needed and all that. These people are paying for a website, content, help whatever mind you to be shown the ropes.

I do my part building it for them. Teaching them the way I have done things, shown them the results, and even going to their place to help them shoot, do their docs, and go over what is important if they were doing shoots.

Needless to say on almost, but not everyone, they stopped doing what is required to maintain traffic, or generate new almost as soon as I stopped helping because my time, or contract was done.

So over time, they just keep falling backward until they were out of business and back to their paper hats, or other real life career. Simply because they refused to do the work that was laid out for them step by step and the daily routine that would have shown them the way. After all, it was all mapped out for them, and they just had to follow the steps. They didn't.

As I said, they PAID to BE HELPED and still failed. Why? Because they did not want to work.
